Hey simon... Sorry if you already covered this but I read most of the post and didn't see anyone talking about it.

I put bud into jars and waited about 12 hours with no change in humidity. It's been 50% in one jar and 52% in another... Guess I screwed up huh?

I personally think it smokes good. They were hanging and on the fraying rack about 14-17 days. How would you handle it at this point? Would you still burp it or just leave it for the long term?

A fourteen day dry is too long. My guess is u dried most of the moisture out of ur buds and that's why there is no change in rh inside the jar.
U won't find simon d here much. He doesn't like the drama. Drama? What drama? Haha.
So to burp ur jar if the rh is stable is kind of futile don't u think?

You still have to burp if you want delicious mouthwatering nugs with flavor that lingers...
A common problem with boveda packs, don't forget to burp!
Curing isn't just about curing the plant matter, which I agree, you may have screwed up, though that is still enough moisture to complete gas transfer

wait till the pot hanging starts to almost dry fully (between 5 and 7 days)and stems almost snap. place nuggs in grocery bags about 3/4 full for like 2 days and leave open some where dark and kool with air flow. fluff consistently. place in air/light tight jars or tobacco jars with lid unclosed but on top of jar for another day or so then stuff into jars dont be afraid to pack down nuggs not too mutch tho then open up the jars every other day for like a week then start the long seal for a couple weeks in total darkness... some strains can even be cured for like a month.

I've put my first DWC grow in a large hinge lid jar that clamps shut. I stored it in my safe while closed, and once a day I would open it in for 1~2 hours at a time then return to the safe. I did that for about a month and a half and it was the smoothest smoke I have ever had.. Could have gone longer for it had a slight hint of "green" taste to it but no one complained.. I actually sold a couple 1/4 for $100 and had people begging for more :). I'm gonna try this method mentioned above this go around.. I'm about a month away from harvest on my second serious dwc single plant grow..

In the past the best smoke I had after curing was after the flower was dried on the stem I put in a paper bag & stored in a cool dark place for 3 months, wonderful wonderful smoke, best I've had, & thts saying a lot, now I understand that everyone can't afford to cure for 3mts, but if u can definitely try it.if anyone had this experience I'd luv to hear. .peace!

I've been researching, and practising both and here's what I take away from my work. Feedback is appreciated!

Cutting dry takes longer, things get stuck to sticky buds. Trichs are more easily knocked off of the drier buds.
However the dry takes longer with leaves intact, so slower drying should be better tasting buds.

Wet trim is fast. Lots of people recommend this, like Jorge Cervantes and Ed Rosenthal.
However, some will argue that the fresh cut leaves will bleed things that compromise your tasty buds, like chlorophyll.

I did ALL my past harvests WET TRIM and never again! This Season I Am DRY TRIMMING... it makes so much more sense... since the point is slowly slowly slowly does it... Strip off Fan Leaves and Hang... when it feels crispy on the outside take it down and do the DRY TRIM over a screen to collect the kief ... then into Paper Bags for a couple days... then into the Jar to cure!... Y.U.M. xxmissxx

I am in the middle of getting ready to harvest myself and would like to know what people think...

there is a thread with one of those auto trimmers here that cost $12000
spins the buds fast as it chops them

the dude says after testing the machine causes much less damage to the buds
compared to a human chopper handling the buds

for this reason chopping buds by hand when they are dry causes more damage to the buds
as the leaves stick to the nugs trimming round them disturbs the bud

imo its best to get as much leaf off the buds as possible when they are still wet
this will disturb them less overall or use a machine if you have a large yield

if you dry them at lower temps 65 70F they will still dry slow, 10-14 days
imo there is no advantage to leaving/drying buds full of leaves

peace

Simon Wattz Up Bruh I Was Wondering If You Are Anybody In This Thread Has Ever Heard Of Or Used The Boveda 62% Humidipaks? I've Recently Purchased Some Along With Some Cvault Containers And Have Yet To Use Them But I Pretty Sure They Are Gonna Do The Trick! They Were Featured in HighTimes And Every Review I've Read From Growers Who Use Them Were Positive. All You Gotta Do Is Dry Your Buds Until Your Stems Almost Snap, Drop Your Buds In The Jar Along With Your Boveda Humidipak And BOOM! You're Done! No Burping, No Opening Your Jars! The trick is to leave the proper moisture content in the bud, in relation to it’s particular density. Relative humidity, and air temperature when jarring will play a role as well. Leaving just enough water and air to allow the "Beneficial" bacteria to feed on the chlorophyll And Starch, but not enough to proliferate throughout the jar. When they run out of air, they die. So opening the jar is counterproductive to curing. The Humidipaks Will Lower Or Raise The Rh To 62%. I Think These Paks Are A Must Have For Beginners And A Nice Addition To The Experienced Growers Arsenal Of "Pot Growing Gadgets"! kiss-ass

totally going to get some of these.Its always that last part of the cure that ya want perfect.I personally love the "cyt the fan leaves and hang til it snaps" method...but the cure starts there as far as im concerned.Anyone can grow weed...but not everyone can cure it.Thats the most important step.

Ive done this for several years this way. I air out the jars so they aren't moist long term, and it smooths out the smoke. But after several months the buds all turn brown. And, I don't have that sweet skunky smell, usually little smell at all. The potency is good, but why can't I keep the nice aroma and greenish color?

its your strtain and if that's not it im wondering if you grom outdoor because outdoor has a tendancy to turn brown.
